Saint Nicholas Monastery is an Armenian monastic complex built in the first millennium AD, situated in Old Jaffa near the Mediterranean harbour in Tel Aviv, Israel. Exemplifying traditional Armenian architecture, the structure comprises a substantial multi-story compound housing an Armenian church and residential quarters. Administered by the Armenian Patriarchate of Jerusalem, which leases portions of the complex for residential and commercial use, the monastery gained additional historical prominence as the setting for Antoine-Jean Gros's painting *Bonaparte Visiting the Plague Victims of Jaffa*, which depicts Napoleon among his afflicted soldiers in the monastery's courtyard.
